solid stay near bike park wales

accommodating staff good breakfast useful tv mint tea
I stayed for a couple of nights while visiting bike park wales. the staff were great and very accommodating. They even cleared out the bike store for my bikes after it was full. the breakfast had a good variety. my room had a tv. It was useful. i also appreciated having mint tea available.
the hotel did not provide fans, so i needed to keep the windows closed due to many small flies because of a nearby stream.
